you are very kind, thanks!

Hypericum calycinum.
So delicate and a sunburst at the same time !

Oh you botonists! I never can recall the botanical names. I know this as St. Johns Wort.

They are wonderful flowers - a needed brightness that blossoms in the shade!

And the Hypericum is lovely. Theses flowers shine from dark corners even and they give such wonderful photographic opportunities! I’m fascinated by them

Yes - and they are a plant that holds healing powers. I know them as St. John's Wort. I'm always amazed when they decide to bloom in my dark backyard.

une belle photo en douceur

thank you - glad you like it!

IN ENGLAND IT IS CALLED A "ROSE OF SHARON"

I KNOW IT AS 'ST JOHN'S WORT' - DO YOU? IT'S WHERE THAT MEDICINE COMES FROM.
I LOVE THE ENGLISH NAME!

A very nice close-up with Fine colors and a great bokeh !

thank you so much. i was pleased with the yellow with the dark green - it's where they love to grow - in the shade! my kind of flower.

Love these luminous flowers that have such a special shape !!! Great idea for the theme ! Happy Sunday, Laura !

thanks - they come as such a pleasant surprise when they bloom in the shade - a ray of sunshine for me and other forest dwellers.

lovely close-up, not yet in our garden

thank you. they have volunteered in my yard - they love the shade.

Jolie !!!

merci.

Beautiful.........I love the way the flower glows against the darker background. A super image Laura.

thanks so much! - that's their specialty. they love the shade!

One does not need to flower in the sun!

so true! and these are the poster child for that. they love the shade!

tout à fait charmant,

merci.

Rose of Sharon is always photogenic, Laura, as here!

Thank you, and it is, isn't it?

I just learned that english name for it! We call it "St John's Wort".

Ah yes, Pam told you!
But you might have recalled it from the name of one of the daughters in Steinbeck's 'The Grapes of Wrath'. although (from memory) he spelt it as they would have pronounced it, 'Rosasharn'.

There are so many books I haven't read - I'm usually too busy eyeing things to photograph! Well, that's my excuse anyway... But very interesting!

Very beautiful capture, Laura!

thank you.

Wonderful picture !

thanks!

Sehr schön zartes Makro. Und ein wunderbares Gelb vor all dem Grün.

thank you! the plant loves the shade so it always has dark green with it making it the center of attention.

★彡 Good work. Have a lovely new week 彡★

thank you kindly.

Those are my favourite discoveries in the garden. The shy ones, the introverts, who invite you to have a nice meaningful conversation.

yes!!!! i agree completely.

Beautifully taken Laura........I have an abundance in my garden they are very evasive, but great for the insects + us photographers. Keep safe !!! ...Also known as St,Johns Wort !!

thank you so much.

these have wandered around my backyard. when we bought this house, 23 years ago (yikes!), they were all along the south side under heavy overhead coverage against a fence. then one year they just up and died. i thought they were gone, then now, a number of years later, they have shown up on the western edge, again near the fence.

St John's Wort is the only way I know them! Thanks to comments, I've learned their botanical name and the English name - ha! I didn't realize how educational ipernity was!! *wink*

Yes we help each other for those elusive name's or common ones. You can get them from the Health Shops here beneficial , for Depression, Nervousness, Tiredness , Poor Appetite, Trouble Sleeping. But of course best to check that are suitable for ones condition as we are all different. Have a good week Laura !!

I knew the health benefits before I knew the flower name. I think just having them grow in my yard is healthy for my mind!

Lovely details on this St.John's wort. This is the cultivated shrubby variety and can grow in sun or shade. There are wilder cousins with much smaller flowers, one of which is the common Hypericum perforatum, which, when held up against the light. appears to have perforations in the leaves.

Facinating! I love hearing about this type thing. Thank you for sharing that information.

such garden.s are the best !
especially looked after by angels...
;-)

aaw.

Exquisite

thanks! they disappeared from my yard for a few years, but recently have been coming back.

Belle macro
